I like the trade for you. I think Shady is above/equal to Lynch and you get a stud TE to cover for you until Gronk is back (which who knows when the hell that will be). You have enough WR depth to cover trading Wayne.

It sucks that you would have to do this trade to begin with since Gronk should be playing by now.

3 is basically equal to zero. Almost no game is decided by less than 5 points, in my league at least.

If McGahee can get at least 7 or so he's worth the start. If not I'm better off taking the chance on McFadden.

Are there any indications McFadden plays?

If you want to talk yourself into McGahee it does seem his role is increasing. The Bills also have struggled stopping the run, and typically TNF games see teams have more success running the ball than passing.

I would sit him if I could, unfortunately all my other options are on bye in that league (Antonio Brown and Greg Jennings). I think he'll still produce an okay day in a PPR league (maybe 8-10 points with a 4-50 type of line) but I wouldn't expect a big game from him.

Garcon is on bye so I'm stuck with Wayne/Decker/Gordon unless I can pull off a trade for Amendola.

Safe to start McGahee

INJURY: strained hamstring

OUTLOOK: unlikely to play Week 5

It's no surprise that Darren McFadden is hurt. He's injury prone and it's not hard to snark about his status. This hamstring strain builds on the other, chipping away at the talent he has. What's more intriguing is whether there was a symbiotic relationship with Terrelle Pryor, taking both some workload and some pressure off the talented running back.

I certainly can't prove it, but I'm inclined to say yes. It's impossible to tell in anything but retrospect, but there's something to chemistry and the way parts mesh with each other in any team sport. However, it's almost always an unintended consequence, a happy accident that becomes narrative when things go well.

McFadden's strain is not severe, but the location and depth of the strain are problematic. Add in his history and the Raiders are going to have to be conservative with this. If he's not able to practice again on Friday, as noted here by USA Today, look for McFadden to be out, which leaves the rushing load on a returning Pryor. See, everything's connected.
